It does appear this quest is Draenei only, requiring Gift of the Naaru to activate. I foung a Youngling just east of the pond at 58, 42 on my 62 Gnome Mage and here are the various things I tried:

1) Agged a nearby yellow mob (Root Trapper) with level 1 frost bolt and pulled it over to him. He would not fight the mob.

2) Agged a nearby red mob (Timberstrider Fledgling) with level 1 forst bolt and pulled it over to him. He fought the mob and eventually agg transfered to him. I healed him with a bandage, which immediately transferred agg back to me, then patiently waited for him to finally kill it. When the mob was dead, he did not have a quest for me.

3) Killed yellow mobs in the area where he wandered until finally a red mob spawned (Timberstrider Fledgling, again), which he agged on his own when he wandered near it. I watched them fight their tediously slow fight until the mob was under 10% health and he was at around 35%, then hit him with a bandage. This ticked him up to about 65% health before the mob interrupted the bandaging, and I let him finish killing the mob. Still no quest.

For Clarity, to get this quest:1)You must be a Draenei.2)Find a Draenei Youngling, there is a link to a few are in the quick info box.3)Get them to engage in combat, either by them naturally pathing into an aggressive creature, or by dragging one to them. Non-aggressive will not work.4)They must take damage, if you brought a creature to them you must let them pull aggro.5)Use Gift of the Naaru on the Draenei Youngling.6)Kill the creature, when the Draenei Youngling resets they will offer this quest.

I found him northwest of Odesyus' Landing. Either wait for him to aggro and aggressive ("red") creature or pull one over to him and he'll start attacking it. I pulled a Timberstrider Fledgling over near him. When he gets down to about 60% of his health, he'll say "Help! I think this creature might be too tough for me to handle alone." Then use Gift of the Naaru on him (obviously, that means you have to be a Draenei). He will then say "Thanks for the heal, <name>!" Kill the creature, and the quest will become available.

I found a Draenei Youngling, and followed her for a few minutes. She was patting around in circles and there was nothing around that would aggro her. If there is nothing for her to aggro, you can get her to engage a mob by dragging a hostile mob to her (i.e., Timberstrider Fledgling). She will not engage yellow/neutral mobs brought to her, such as the Root Trappers.

As soon as she engages the mob, let her grab aggro (as a pally, I bubbled and aggro transferred), and after she drops a few percent, cast Gift of the Naaru on her. You must cast it on her before she kills the mob, and you don't have to wait for her to cry for help. She'll say "Thanks for the heal, !" You can help her kill the mob after that, and once it's dead she will have a quest for you.

Appears to be bugged with the changes to Gift of the Naaru - much like "Rescue the Survivors". Oh well.

I was able to do this quest post-3.0.3 on my level 10 warrior alt. I heard a youngling call for help because he was almost dead, and figured I might as well go save him even if it doesn't work. He then gave me the quest, and I was quite surprised.

I just tried doing it on my draenei death knight just now though. I found a youngling already fighting a timberstrider, cast Gift of the Naaru, and he just kept walking as if nothing happened after I killed the mob. I then tried several more times to pull mobs onto him, waiting various amounts of time before casting GotN. He asks for help at 80%, yells for heals at 60%, and yells again at 30% that he's about to die. Even waiting until he was almost dead (the same point I got it on my warrior a few days before) got me no response. Maybe it just doesn't work for death knights?

Comment by YuriElite

Beware, this quest is currently bugged, I tried everything from letting the youngling almost dead and the normal means of doing this quest but non work.

Comment by BattleFreak

Just tried it today on my draenei priest, nothing above worked.

Comment by Cotytto

Still bugged.Tried on my lowbie Draenei Priest alt.Even waited until he was almost dead before using GotN.

All in all wasted over an hour trying to get this silly quest and never succeeded.

Comment by Creig

Tried twice just now, never worked.

Comment by Aletto

I can't figure out for the life of me how to lower the youngling's health. The only hostile mobs nearby are level 5 and 6 timberstriders, and he has 800ish health. His health restores to full whenever he leaves combat, and if I drag other timberstriders over to him before he finishes the first, he can't get aggro on the new one.

So the only way to do this, it seems, is if somehow he aggroes four or five timberstriders at once. I don't think I could do that with a fresh level 1, never mind a level 8 NPC with 800 health.

Quest is broken.

EDIT: A couple of hours later I managed to pull two timberstriders onto him and get him to ask for help, but lo and behold even healing him with GotN didn't cause him to give the quest.

Comment by shmog

There's a female just southwest of Azure Watch, if you pull something to her, she'll give the quest. She's the only one who does.

Comment by Biaxident

I've tried this with a number of Draenei characters, and the only one where the Draenei Youngling responded to my Gift of the Naaru, was the warrior. I'm thinking since the change where GotN is influenced by either AP or SP, each Draenei class is given a different version of GotN, and only the warrior one is recognized properly by the Youngling.

I've contacted a GM on this subject and they said they weren't aware of any issues with this quest.

Comment by suprchunk

Still bugged.

Let him talk the creature all the way to zero, used gift of the naaru on him to no avail. I'm going to let him die now since I wasted 20 minutes on this crap.

Comment by Federalagent

Still Bugged as of Jan 2010.

She/he was attacking and begging for help, I healed with Naru and killed the mob, nothing, she continued patrol.

I also noticed she is a higher level than the monsters in the area. she is 8 and everything is 5. She kills them faster than she gets hurt.

Edit: Jan 30,2010I tried again today, still same problem, different npc... Maybe it is a lowlevel only quest?

Edit: Jan 31, 2010I decided to have a low level attempt to activate the quest giver. The level 10 Dreanei used the Gift of Naaru on the Young Dreanei, which did in fact activate the quest. BUT, i could not get it. The quest giver would not give it to me, and the quest can not be shared (the share button is deactivated). So i come to a conclusion that this quest is ONLY for low levels, at what level it stops being offered i am not sure. I was attempting this quest on a level 65 Draenei Death Knight

Comment by Vonara

The quest is working fine now. I used the Youngling up on the large hill you climb for the Furbolg chain. The health percentage was more along the lines of 90% when they called for help.

This really is Draenei only - even if a Draenei causes the quest to become active, only they and other Draenei can pick up the quest.

Comment by thinkinonit

I found her close to a little pond between cliff and waters edge of the sea in Moonglaze Woods. (loc 58.6, 40.8). There was no red- aggressive animals anywhere close for me to pull into her. If you kill all the passive-yellow tagged animals for a few rotations, a red tagged-aggressive will spawn in range of her.

Comment by BPH387

Found a Draenei Youngling today at roughly 42,57 (as a lvl 85 Draenei hunter). I aggroed a Timberstrider Fledgling and pulled it over to her. She attacked it and got damaged. I healed her with Gift of the Naaru, she said something, and then I killed the mob. The "A Hearty Thanks!" quest then showed up. :)

Comment by Djsedj

Be aware if you have a pet and happen to be high level.Now I have to wait some... hours?I don't know, my pet killed the bad guy before it could hurt the draenei :(

Comment by NikNovi

Just did this quest. Had some trouble finding the Draenei Youngling, but managed to found her on second tour of the points where she appears - at 58,42.

Comment by Wyr3d

Just to confirm, this quest IS available for Draenei Death Knights. It's a lot more hard work, since you need to lure a mob without it accidently getting killed, but it is available. Blood Spec's taunt is helpful :P

Comment by Kerwinian

Attempted to do this quest as of 5.3 as a Night Elf partied with a Draenei. The Draenei was able to pickup the quest and it was not visible to me, leading me to believe this quest should be tagged as Draenei only.
